- Comment on Neuralink's first in-human brain implant has experienced a problem, company says 4 days ago:
It’s definitely morally complicated. Like paying life changing money for medical testing or organ harvesting.

They don’t really have say. Blame the state government.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 5 weeks ago:
Another relatively innocent reason for the supposed high volume of uploads could be an error in the Asus router firmware.
Note the language could be.

AI is ridiculous machine language algorithms.
It always was
What you’re thinking of is general ai. But ml is a subset of the field of ai.

Who’s to say it isn’t acting as a gateway for other smart devices that aren’t connected to the Internet? Or part of a bot net?

How about a nice game of chess
- Comment on AI Launches Nukes In ‘Worrying’ War Simulation: ‘I Just Want to Have Peace in the World’ 2 months ago:
Yeah, there is. But that requires thinking that isn’t emulated well by LLMs.
LLMs don’t really do any thinking.
- Comment on 200-foot AM radio tower disappears, halting Alabama station broadcast | "There's wires everywhere, and it's gone." 2 months ago:
With am… Either you’re cooked dead or not. 20-50kW of power…
They probably turned off the transmitter. Because that’s gone too.

- Comment on Imagine everything humans could accomplish if we were not a commerce based civilization. 3 months ago:
In a communist society, say Soviet Russia, were the goods for a train really exchanged?
Like yeah, the ore comes from the mine, gets smelted, coked, forged, brought to another factory for machining, another factory for assembly.
So does it fulfill the definition requiring exchange of goods? I argue not, The goods were transported, but the ownership remained with the government.

- Comment on More Police Are Using Your Cameras for Video Evidence 3 months ago:
Again, the expectation in public is that you don’t have privacy.
The expectation I would have is that your own car isn’t going to collect evidence that could be used against you. And that it won’t collect data in your own garage or on your property.

- Comment on Google Will Now Back Right-to-Repair 3 months ago:
Enemy of my enemy is my friend
Android has always been easier to repair, apple is notoriously against repair.
Force policy to cut out a large portion of your competition’s revenue strategy (Apple authorized repair only)
- Comment on Google Will Now Back Right-to-Repair 3 months ago:
It’s newsworthy because common sense doesn’t apply to the USA.
If R2R doesn’t pass in the USA, hardware is going to be region locked by software, like game consoles in the 90s and 00s. So only the EU will be able to use replacement hw.

- Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 3 months ago:
Adding this functionality will:
Require more IO, add complexity to any wiring harnesses, make repair or replacement more difficult. This all increases cost, probably more than a mass-produced seat motor used by other manufacturers.
For weight and cost, a proper design would have been negligible. Why do you think every other car isn’t made this way if it comes down to cost?
- Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 3 months ago:
How much weight and cost do you think that’s going to add?
- Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 3 months ago:
You don’t add cooling, you size the motors to have enough thermal mass and mount them to metal chassis.
